In short

What the M4A stores is what the engine needs. The Russian speech becomes the revision deck in the sections Cards, Terms to define, Self-check questions; one file may be up to 30 minutes, and 3 files a day are free.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into flashcards for revision

  1. 1

    Send it as a voice message

    For a voice message the Telegram Bot API asks for an .OGG file encoded with OPUS, an .MP3 file or an .M4A file

  2. 2

    Upload the file

    The recording of the M4A audio file is attached to the widget of the page with the language of the speech set to Russian, and the revision deck comes back as a file of text.

  3. 3

    Turn the text into the revision deck

    The transcript of the M4A audio file goes to the instruction that is written for the revision deck, and the sections of the answer are Cards, Terms to define, Self-check questions.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The recording of the M4A audio file is in Russian, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says Russian and the revision deck follows.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    In the FAQ of the FFmpeg library of Audacity the M4A is written next to the codec it carries: M4A (AAC), AC3 and WMA

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • TXT, CSV

    The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

  • SRT, VTT

    SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

The case

What the recording does not give you

Google Drive keeps the M4A among the files it stores: any file type can be stored in Drive, and the list of the audio formats it previews names MP3, MPEG, WAV, .ogg and .opus. The M4A audio file is read by the engine in Russian, and the revision deck is written from the text, not from a guess.

Tips

  • A name that was never said in the M4A audio file stays out of the revision deck.

  • The engine does not translate the M4A audio file from Russian.

  • The file of the M4A audio file stays on your own disk.

  • Bots can currently send audio files of up to 50 MB in size, and the limit may be changed in the future.
